Till The Heart Caves In

T-Bone Burnett/Bob Neuwirth/Roy Orbison

Stood together in an open field

And share the secrets of the night reveal

Then we chase the light

Racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt and innocence

How hard we torture this ambivalence

Night will bring no dawn

Where's the power gone

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping

And sell them for dust and cheap lust

And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping

And cover your eyes with sad lies and dark skies

Come closer to me on your hands and knees

Alone when your will's gone

How much is not enough how much is through

How long will I be getting over you

How much grief and sin

Till the heart caves in

Till the heart caves in

Till the heart caves in
